Supporting local organizations has never been more crucial. COVID-19 has made it difficult for many organizations to continue providing services. Engaging in meaningful volunteer work is one way to ensure that services continue and that the Racine community continues to stay strong through this pandemic. Season of Caring will help facilitate this goal by making volunteerism a year-round effort. Season of Caring connects individuals, workplace and professional teams, school groups and entire organizations to meaningful volunteer work through community impact.

“These are difficult times,” said Ali Haigh, president and CEO of United Way of Racine County. “but I know Racine County is strong. Through long-term efforts like Season of Caring, we will mobilize the community to improve lives and support our nonprofit organizations.”

Organizations that have volunteer opportunities, both virtual and physical, can register their volunteer projects with United Way of Racine County. Examples of projects include yardwork, painting, family game night kits and care cards.These projects will then be matched with volunteers who have expressed interest in that type of work.
